A pitch grid sits above a rhythm grid, and clicking cells builds a loop that plays back straight away with no theory required. Scale, tempo and instrument are all adjustable, and finished songs encode into a URL that reopens with your work intact.
Restricting the grid to a pentatonic scale by default means almost anything you click sounds deliberate.
